Bound to Have a Smoke.

Talking about ingenuity" said drummer
to Chicago Herald reporter, II want to tell
you what saw last winter out West. was
on train that was showed in for three days.
The company sent US food, but they didn't
send US any cigars, and the train boys stock
was exhausted the first day. In the express
car We found and csnnsicatsd boz Of snok-
ing tobacco, but there wasn't pipe on the
train. Among tho passengers was Connect.
cut Yankee who was just dying for smoke.
He got out in the snow and looked around for
4 weed, or something Of that sort, which he
might use in making pipe, but couldn't hnd
thing. I am going to have pipe, anyhow
he said. So he took lead pencil, opened tho
wood, took out the lead, and placing the two
strips together again, wound them tightly with
tin-foil which came out Of the package Of
smoking tobacco, making them air tight.
Then he took an apple, followed bowl out
of it, stuck bis lead pencil stem into it, and
had QUO of the incest pipes you ever saw. II
you don't believe it make one for yourself some
time and try it."

The Turtle Mountains.

The Turtle mountains are bunch OF hills
varying in height from 200 to 700 feet above
the prairie, aud about forty miles long by from
twenty to thirty broad. How and why they
came there is question for scientists to decide.
In former years it is evident that the noun
tains were entirely covered by heavy growth
of timber. But the omniverous fire fend has
worked great havoc, aud thousands Of acres
are now covered only by growth of bushes
and scrub" We're 1t possible To prevent
these hres there il little doubt that in cempar-
atlvsly few years the timber would spring up
again. A singular feature is tho sxtrRordi-
nary number Of lakes and ponds of all sizes,
from few rods in diameter to several miles
length, that are scattered throughout the hills
at all elevations. These form an inexhausti-
bio supply Of water. All about these lakes are
meadows Of grass, which could bs easily OK
tended by = simple and inexpensive system of
drainage. The protection against the cold
winds of winter furnished by tho hills and the
timber renders this an excellent location for
stock raising. .-Correspond>nt efthe Pioneer

G. H. Myers, Sphinx county, Dakota. writes
to tho Prairie Farmer: II challenge any man

Of bulklness. Horses do we'll on 1t, are free

kidneys, and horses fed on 1t sooner or later
will succumb to its effects. They become weak
in tho back, unable to get up, but will continue

we'll except the weakness In the back. It ef-
fects mares in foal worse than geldings and I
would advise not to feed 1t to them at all. 1t

Will stand Comparissn.

We hear that times are close and money
scarce, and that farm products bring low prices;
and some may imagine that this condition Of
things is peculiar to new country and Dakota.
This, however, Is mistake. The same CON-
plants are heard from tho Atlantic TO the
Pacific. Farm products are low everywhere,
in foreign lands as well a. in America. We
have recent advices from some of the best
portions Of Ohio that farms have decreased
largely in value within two years, and that
many are going under the hammer on mort
cages. But even at the reducad ratss Of farm
lands there, they represent four and i've times
the cost of the rich lands Of this portion Of Da-
kota, and 80 It follows that one thousand dol
lars invested in farming here Is - good as i've

A SAD ACCIDENT.
John w. Smith Loses His Life from
n Pcemnfure EYnlaaiol,


Premature Explosion.
A sad accident occurred at the Broadlawu
Stock farm, about eight miles east Of Hope, ut
half-past seven o'clock Tuesday morning by
which John w. Smith lost his life. The de-
ceased was in the employ of the I. X. L. Mill
company, Of Minneapolis, which has con-
tract for sinking an artesan we'll on the Broad
lawn farm. The we'll has been sunk to the
depth of 1874 feet at which point bolder was
encountered which has caused considerable
annoyance, and it was while attempting to
blast this rock that Smith lost his life. Mr..
S. J. Drury and John W. Smith, the deceased,
were in charge of the work Of sinking the
well, and at the time Of the accident Smith
was on scaffold about twelve feet from the
ground over the well, while Drury was about
two hundred feet distant holding the end of a
wire which was used to lower the cartridge to
tho bottom of the we'll. The cartridge was
composed Of, Hercules powder, eight iuches
long and one inch in diameter, with fuse at
tached ten foet long, and which was supposed
to burn about five minutes. Smith had lit the
fuse and Drury had made one step forward,
tho cartridge falling about two feet in the iron
tubing which extended above the ground,
not more than four or five seconds having
elapsed, when the cartridge exploded Drury
saw Smith fall to the ground before he heard
the explosion, and Immediately ran to bis as
sistance. He found the deceased On the ground
manglea and bleeding, and he exclaimed, 'for
Gods sake, Sam, shoot me-" His suferiugs
were intense, both thighs were broken and
nearly severed from the body, the abdomen
was torn open and the intestines protruding,
and large wound ON the left side just above
the hip from which piece OF iron four inches
long, two inches wide and three-sixteenths of
an iuch thick was protrudng. A number Of
hands on the farm were brought to the spot by
the explosion and the unfortunate man was
placed as tenderly as possible on hoard and
conveyed to the hQuse, where shortly after
death put at end to his suffsrings.
DR.. Philip was notified and Tuesday after
| noon in company with Sheriff Walden repaired
to the scene Of the accident and held au in
quest, the jury, G. H. Newton, s. c. Fuller aud
r. A. Pope returning u verdict in accordance
with the above facts.
| The deceased was native Of New York,
twenty-three years of age, and unmarried. He
had only recently come from Minneapolis. His
remains were sent to Minneapolis.

Hope extension, returned from Aneta last
Saturday, to which point the line has been
surveyed. On Monday the work of location
commenced and as soon as this is completed
the party will commence to cross section the
line for the graders. We predict that in less

tension and the rails will be laid in time to re-
move the growing crop. Beyond Aneta moth
ing definite is known, but the most probable
theory is that the road will be continued to
form a junction with the main line at or near

much shorter line over which to run through
